I'm a songwriter, and like most creators
of intellectual property, I am pulled by mighty and somewhat contradictory
impulses about my work. On the one hand, I feel a strong urge to have
my creations shared
and enjoyed by anyone demented enough to be interested. On the other
hand, if my creations generate financial rewards, I'd like my fair share.

Because of my own experience, I have tried
to be very sensitive as to how creative works are presented on this
website. Wherever songs or lyrics are posted in their entirety, I have
either sought permission from the author or copyright holder, or have
ascertained that our use falls within appropriate use as permitted by
the author in notices accompanying their work or their participation
in representations such as the Blanket
Permission List. If you are the author of any of the works presented
or linked on the Geek Musique site and would like to withdraw
your work, I am more than happy to accomodate you. Just email doug@geektones.com.

Although Geek Musique might generate
a bit of revenue through affiliate arrangements or through sales at
the Geek Musique Boutique, this site is essentially a labor of love.
My compensation for producing the site is unlikely to amount to more
than a few cents per hour -- basically just a bit of help with operating
costs.

Regarding my own work, I am happy -- delighted
in fact -- to have it posted or performed as long as the following notice
appears with the work:
